Quick! What are the first three words you think of when I ask you to describe yourself?
Happy, open, clumsy (openly clumsy).
What’s your favorite thing to do in Berkeley?
Making the rounds at space-related places: Jupiter’s, Venus, Saturn Cafe.
What’s something not many people know about you?
I cut my own hair and as I’m clumsy, it’s sometimes really awful.
If you could choose a place to teleport to right now, where would it be?
A villa in Tuscany. I’m sorry in advance to whoever lives there.
Who’s your celebrity crush?
Alfie Allen. He plays Theon Greyjoy in The Game of Thrones. He has what I like to call “French pirate facial hair”.
Name something you can’t live without.
A pet of any kind, even a house-plant will do.
What’s your biggest pet-peeve?
I hate it when a fitted sheet comes off at the corner of the bed.
When was your proudest moment?
In first grade I taught my younger brother everything I’d learned in kindergarten. Halfway through his year in kindergarten, he was bumped up into the first grade with me. It was terrible (we were the kind of siblings who fought) but I was proud, especially of him.
What’s something you’d like to accomplish?/ Name a short term goal and long term goal.
My short term goal is to stop cutting my own hair for at least 6 months. My long term, less vain, and more worth goal is to finish a novel.
Describe your perfect match.
My perfect match is Alfie Allen, but if he’s unavailable, I’d be into someone who as an affinity for dogs or houseplants; thinks the perfect Friday night revolves around homemade pizza and board games; has a knack for cutting hair; and thinks spending all day in the sun by Lake Merritt with copious amounts of coffee and conversation is a day well-spent
